Whether you are a big or small player within t...

I am happy to hear that you again receive your emails. Regarding the email spam issue A form on our website was misused by a spam robot which managed to send out a lot of emails through within a very short time frame.

hi roxytoo, This follow-up email is a courtesy to our visitors and serves the purpose of giving them an extra opportunity to find a rental home in case they, for whatever reason, did not succeed in their first round.

Hi, @pepsipuss - We have now rolled out the changes so all sites show the calendar in the same style. Hopefully you will note a change. @vera - I understand your concern, but we are not able to make an "in between" solution that would show your pool features 100% correct. You would need to...
